“The writer of the book of Revelation tells us he heard a voice from heaven saying, ‘Come out of her, my people.’ If such persons are to be found in the mother of harlots, with much less hesitancy it may be inferred that they are connected with her unchaste daughters, these national churches, which are founded upon what are called Protestant principles.”—_Encyclopedia of Religion._ “If she be the mother, who are the daughters? It must be the corrupt national established churches that came out of her.”—_Lorenzo Dow._ Chapter III. False Teachings Of The Apostasy. This is subject enough for volumes. There is scarcely a text in the Bible but what has been perverted by some one confused by the fogs of Babylon. Perhaps you can not find two individuals in the whole of sectism that see “eye to eye” upon the whole truth. To mention all the erroneous teachings of apostates would be almost impossible. However we believe it to be compatible with this work and to the glory of God to mention and refute a few of the false doctrines that have been most effectual in obscuring the light of the sun and moon. We will quote from an unknown author the following unscriptural dogmas of the Romish sect, and the date of their origin: Prayers for the dead A.D. 200. Worship of saints, angels and martyrs 350. Worship of Virgin Mary developed 431. Worship in unknown tongue 600. Papal supremacy 606. Worship of images and relics imposed 788. Baptism of bells 965. Obligatory celibacy of priests 1000. Infallibility of church 1076. Sale of indulgences 1190. Transubstantiation officially decreed 1215. Auricular confession officially imposed 1215. Cup kept from laity officially sanctioned 1415. Purgatory officially recognized 1430. Romish tradition put on level with Scripture 1540. Immaculate conception proclaimed 1864. Papal infallibility proclaimed 1870. These dogmas are without Scriptural authority. They are only the traditions of men, and is it any wonder that the pure light of the gospel of the Son of God was dimmed when such blasphemous doctrines were substituted? Besides these, in the papacy originated many other erroneous superstitious doctrines that have been handed down and perpetuated through Protestantism. One of the most general is that of Infant Baptism.
